5 DeMar DeRozan decided to add a little style and flair to his lay-up against the Sixers this week, spinning 360 degrees and taking contact before making the soft two-handed finish.
4 Veteran, and the player many argue to be the best power forward ever, Tim Duncan, this week passed the 25,000 points threshold with a lay-up against the Lakers. He is the 19th player in NBA history to achieve that.
3 James Johnson received the entry pass from DeMar DeRozan and took no notice of Brandon Davis standing in his way, delivering a vicious tomahawk jam and Davis failed to take the charge.
2 Philadelphia 76ers small-forward, the 6 ft 6 KJ McDaniels elevated and hung to swat an attempted shot by Greivis Vasquez clean into the second row of the stands for one of his four blocks for the game.
1 Controversial or not, Courtney Lee’s game-winning lay-up off an alley-oop was definitely a highlight of this week’s play. With 0.3 seconds on the clock, the Memphis guard found space and received the in-bound pass from Vince Carter before acrobatically throwing it up to break Sacramento hearts.
